LITURGY OF THE WORD
FIRST LESSON Amos 5:6-7, 10-15
A reading from the prophet Amos.
Seek the Lord and live,
or he will break out against the house of Joseph like fire,
and it will devour Bethel, with no one to quench it.
4
Ah, you that turn justice to wormwood,
and bring righteousness to the ground!
They hate the one who reproves in the gate,
and they abhor the one who speaks the truth.
Therefore, because you trample on the poor
and take from them levies of grain,
you have built houses of hewn stone,
but you shall not live in them;
you have planted pleasant vineyards,
but you shall not drink their wine.
For I know how many are your transgressions,
and how great are your sins—
you who afflict the righteous, who take a bribe,
and push aside the needy in the gate.
Therefore the prudent will keep silent in such a time;
for it is an evil time.
Seek good and not evil,
that you may live;
and so the Lord, the God of hosts, will be with you,
just as you have said.
Hate evil and love good,
and establish justice in the gate;
it may be that the Lord, the God of hosts,
will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph.
Lector The Word of the Lord.
People Thanks be to God.
GRADUAL (read responsively by whole verse) Psalm 90:12-17
12 So teach us to number our days *
that we may apply our hearts to wisdom.
13 Return, O Lord; how long will you tarry? *
be gracious to your servants.
14 Satisfy us by your loving-kindness in the morning; *
so shall we rejoice and be glad all the days of our life.
15 Make us glad by the measure of the days that you afflicted us *
and the years in which we suffered adversity.
16 Show your servants your works *
and your splendor to their children.
17 May the graciousness of the LORD our God be upon us; *
prosper the work of our hands;
prosper our handiwork.

SECOND LESSON Hebrews 4:12-16
A reading from the letter to the Hebrews.
The word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing until it divides soul from spirit,
joints from marrow; it is able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. And before him no creature is
hidden, but all are naked and laid bare to the eyes of the one to whom we must render an account.
Since, then, we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold
fast to our confession. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we
have one who in every respect has been tested as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore approach the throne
of grace with boldness, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
Lector The Word of the Lord.
People Thanks be to God.

HYMN (Sung by the Cantor.) O God, our help in ages past St. Anne
GOSPEL Mark 10:17-31
Priest The Holy Gospel of Our Lord Jesus Christ according to Mark.
People Glory to you, Lord Christ.
As Jesus was setting out on a journey, a man ran up and knelt before him, and asked him, “Good Teacher, what
must I do to inherit eternal life?” Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone.
You know the commandments: ‘You shall not murder; You shall not commit adultery; You shall not steal; You shall
not bear false witness; You shall not defraud; Honor your father and mother.’”
6
He said to him, “Teacher, I have kept all these since my youth.” Jesus, looking at him, loved him and said, “You
lack one thing; go, sell what you own, and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven;
then come, follow me.” When he heard this, he was shocked and went away grieving, for he had many
possessions.
Then Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How hard it will be for those who have wealth to enter the
kingdom of God!” And the disciples were perplexed at these words. But Jesus said to them again, “Children, how
hard it is to enter the kingdom of God! It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone
who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.” They were greatly astounded and said to one another, “Then who can
be saved?” Jesus looked at them and said, “For mortals it is impossible, but not for God; for God all things are
possible.”
Peter began to say to him, “Look, we have left everything and followed you.” Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, there is
no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields, for my sake and for the
sake of the good news, who will not receive a hundredfold now in this age—houses, brothers and sisters, mothers
and children, and fields with persecutions—and in the age to come eternal life. But many who are first will be
last, and the last will be first.”
Priest The Gospel of the Lord.

SERMON The Rev. Peter W. Mayer

NICENE CREED
Celebrant and People
We believe in one God,
the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth,
of all that is, seen and unseen.
We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,
the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father,
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God, begotten, not made,
of one Being with the Father.
Through him all things were made.
For us and for our salvation
he came down from heaven:
by the power of the Holy Spirit
he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary,
and was made man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;
he suffered death and was buried.
On the third day he rose again
in accordance with the Scriptures;
he ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
7
He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead,
and his kingdom will have no end.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son.
With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified.
He has spoken through the Prophet.
We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church.
We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
We look for the resurrection of the dead,
and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Celebrant and People
Most merciful God,
we confess that we have sinned against you
in thought, word, and deed,
by what we have done,
and by what we have left undone.
We have not loved you with our whole heart;
we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves.
We are truly sorry and we humbly repent.
For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ,
have mercy on us and forgive us;
that we may delight in your will,
and walk in your ways,
to the glory of your Name. Amen.

OFFERTORY MUSIC How can I keep from singing arr. Alan Bullard
My life flows on in endless song, Above earth’s lamentation;
I hear the clear though far-off hymn That hails a new creation.
Through all the tumult and the strife, I hear the music ringing;
It finds an echo in my soul, How can I keep from singing?
What though the tempest loudly roars, I know my Savior liveth;
Although the darkness binds me close, Deep in the night sweet songs he giveth.
His inner peace makes fresh my heart, A fountain ever springing;
Since love is Lord of heav’n and earth, How can I keep from singing?

GREAT THANKSGIVING Eucharistic Prayer C
Celebrant The Lord be with you.
People And also with you.
Celebrant Lift up your hearts.
People We lift them to the Lord.
Celebrant Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
People It is right to give our thanks and praise.
God of all power, Ruler of the Universe, you are worthy of glory and praise.
Glory to you for ever and ever.
At your command all things came to be: the vast expanse of interstellar space, galaxies, suns, the planets in
their courses, and this fragile earth, our island home.
By your will they were created and have their being.
From the primal elements you brought forth the human race, and blessed us with memory, reason, and skill. You
made us the rulers of creation. But we turned against you, and betrayed your trust; and we turned against one
another.
Have mercy, Lord, for we are sinners in your sight.
Again and again, you called us to return. Through prophets and sages you revealed your righteous Law. And in
the fullness of time you sent your only Son, born of a woman, to fulfill your Law, to open for us the way of
freedom and peace.
By his blood, he reconciled us.
By his wounds, we are healed.
And therefore we praise you, joining with the heavenly chorus, with prophets, apostles, and martyrs, and with all
those in every generation who have looked to you in hope, to proclaim with them your glory, in their unending
hymn:
SANCTUS (Sung by the Cantor.) M. Archer

The Celebrant continues
And so, God, we who have been redeemed by him, and made a new people by water and the Spirit, now bring
before you these gifts. Sanctify them by your Holy Spirit to be the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ our Lord.
On the night he was betrayed he took bread, said the blessing, broke the bread, and gave it to his friends, and
said, "Take, eat: This is my Body, which is given for you. Do this for the remembrance of me."
After supper, he took the cup of wine, gave thanks, and said, "Drink this, all of you: This is my Blood of the new
Covenant, which is shed for you and for many for the forgiveness of sins. Whenever you drink it, do this for the
remembrance of me."
Remembering now his work of redemption, and offering to you this sacrifice of thanksgiving,
We celebrate his death and resurrection,
as we await the day of his coming.
Lord God of our Fathers and Mothers: God of Abraham and Sarah; Isaac and Rebecca; Jacob, Leah and Rachel;
God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ: Open our eyes to see your hand at work in the world about us. Deliver
us from the presumption of coming to this Table for solace only, and not for strength; for pardon only, and not for
renewal. Let the grace of this Holy Communion make us one body, one spirit in Christ, that we may worthily serve
the world in his name.
Risen Lord, be known to us in the breaking of the Bread.
Accept these prayers and praises, Father, through Jesus Christ our great High Priest, to whom, with you and the
Holy Spirit, your Church gives honor, glory, and worship, from generation to generation. Amen.
LORD’S PRAYER
Celebrant And now, as our Savior Christ has taught us, we are bold to say,
Celebrant and People
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy Name,
thy kingdom come, thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
and the power, and the glory,
for ever and ever. Amen.
BREAKING OF THE BREAD
Celebrant God of promise, you have prepared a banquet for us.
People Happy are those who are called to the Supper of the Lamb.
